The festival will feature a diverse group of contemporary Florida authors in conversations, panels, and presentations. Please read the following information before submitting a book to the Festival.

The title

The Book Festival focuses on the promotion of literature and literary culture. To provide a diverse mix of literature for all visitors and participating authors, we will feature books from the following genres:
• Fiction — with an emphasis on literary fiction
• Nonfiction books — considered from a variety of perspectives that encourage and engage in fair, respectful discussions of history, figures and ideas.
• Narrative nonfiction — history, biography, memoir, and essays
• Graphic novels
• Cookbooks and food-related titles
• Art and architecture titles
• Titles with a local focus

We begin issuing invitations to participate in the Festival in December with the schedule of authors in place by January. We are unable to notify individuals who are not selected. We will post the list of selected authors on the Book Festival website.

There is no fee for submissions. Incomplete submissions will be discarded. Meeting the criteria for consideration does not guarantee an invitation to participate in the Festival as a featured author. Books submitted for consideration will not be returned and authors will receive neither payment, feedback, nor critique of submitted works.
